Today is our original due date! So it was great timing to finally get Gabe home yesterday. His discharge weight was 3.53kg (7lbs, 12 oz). He does not have a monitor nor oxygen and the only drug he is on is for reflux. This last week in the hospital weaning him from caffeine and a monitor was definitely worth it!

This crazy ordeal began on Jan.27 when Nanette's water broke and ended on May 28---four long months. I told Nanette as we drove away from Primary Children's that this was the end of all our troubles (with the implied meaning of it being the front end).
Last night it was my shift to watch and feed the twins. I could tell by how much they slept that they both really, really love me and enjoy being awake around me. I am a novice at tandem feeding, tandem burping, tandem diaper changing, and tandem rocking. Some of those tasks just simply require two hands for one baby. I suppose it's too late for evolution to kick in and grow parents of twins an extra arm and hand. . .
